According to several reports published in Norway, Farook Abdulhak, a suspect in a London killing in 2008, was issued a false identity in 2011, at the height of Yemen uprising, in view of a potential forced-exit from the country.
A close friend to former President Saleh, Abdulhaks father allegedly wanted to ensure that should the need arise, his son would be allowed safe passage out.
Since he is a wanted man abroad, new identity papers had to be issued. The sources say the cost Abdulhak family paid was a total of $3000, a drop in the ocean for the billionaire.
“In order to fool the authorities into issuing a 2nd Yemeni identity, Abdulhak father falsified his son’s military ID card, by using his connections within the Defence Ministry and the Army,” the source said.
While it is not yet clear whether Farook managed to obtain a false identity passport, officials in Yemen have confirmed that the process would be fairly easy.
The eldest son of Yemen’s billionaire businessman, Farook Abdulhak made the headlines back in March 2008 when he was accused of the rape and murder of Norwegian student, Martine Vik Magnussen.
Martine’s body was found in the basement of an apartment block, hidden under rubble, in a block of flats in Great Portland Street, in London on 16 March 2008. According to police report she died “from compression to the neck, because of strangulation.”
Because Magnussen was, according to an official police report, last “seen alive sometime between 0200 and 0300 GMT on 14 March at the Maddox nightclub in London's wealthy Mayfair district, more than a mile from the basement where her body was found,” in company of Farook Abdulhak, Scotland Yard demanding that he came forward for questioning, an order he never complied with since he returned to Yemen.
It was Abdulhak’s hurrying back to Yemen in his father’s private jet which essentially arose suspicious as to his involvement in Martine’s death and prompted calls to his immediate return to Britain to face criminal charges.
Because the UK does not an extradition agreement with Yemen, all British officials could ever do was notify then-President Ali Abdullah Saleh and await for an answer. Needless to say that former President Saleh never addressed the issue, keen not to antagonize one of Yemen’s most influential and wealthy dignitaries.
Farook Abdulhak was put on Scotland Yard’s most-wanted list in 2009 and is the subject of an international arrest warrant.
As MP Awad al Wazir is set to meet on Tuesday with Norwegian officials in Oslo, among whom , Olemic Thommessen (head of Parliament) to discuss bilateral relations, Martine’s case is likely to be discussed. Norwegian MP Ase Mickaelsen told reporters she wants to use al-Wazir’s visit to push for a legal resolution.
The case which was believed to be buried resurfaced earlier this March when Martine’s father, Odd Peter Magnussen, told British media, Abdulhak father had approached him in view of settling the case out of court and to provide some closure.
“I have been approached by the father’s legal representatives and other representatives of the father who have wanted meetings with me and there is absolutely no doubt in anyone’s mind what these meetings will be … He has used various ways of trying to put up meetings with me... but I will not fall into that trap,” said Magnussen.
Spurred on by Magnussen’s calls for action, Scotland Yard took to the social media by placing a wanted advert on Facebook. Detective chief inspector Andy Partridge, leading the investigation, said he wanted to “prick the conscience” of those closest to Abdulhak, whom he said would be charged and put on trial if and when he leaves Yemen. He said: “We hope their pressure may prompt him to do the right thing and return to the UK.”
